Description

Shift register, driving method thereof and grid driving circuit
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of grid driving circuits, and particularly relates to a shift register, a driving method thereof and a grid driving circuit.
Background
To simplify the structure of the display panel, the gate lines may be driven using a gate driver circuit (GOA) formed on the array substrate. The grid driving circuit comprises a plurality of cascaded shift registers, each shift register drives one grid line, and when one shift register outputs a conducting signal, the work of other shift registers can be triggered, so that the driving of all the grid lines can be realized by only using a plurality of simple control signals.
In many cases, it is desirable that the display panel can perform bidirectional scanning, that is, each gate line is required to be alternately turned on from top to bottom and from bottom to top. As shown in fig. 5, in order to realize bidirectional scanning, it is necessary to provide a first signal terminal FW and a second signal terminal BW, one of the two signal terminals is continuously at a high level, the other is continuously at a low level, and when ports at the high level are different, the scanning direction is also different.
Meanwhile, in a frame, the scanning of all the gate lines can be completed only in a part of Time, the remaining Time is a Blank Time, and signals of other ports except for the first signal terminal FW and the second signal terminal BW in the Blank Time are all kept at a low level. In the idle stage, one of the first signal terminal FW and the second signal terminal BW is continuously at a high level, and a certain leakage current inevitably exists in the transistor, so that in this stage, the storage capacitor C gradually generates charge accumulation, the level of the pull-up node PU of the shift register gradually rises, and the transistor for correspondingly controlling the output is in an unsaturated state, so that when a next frame of picture (i.e., when each shift register restarts to work), the shift register (especially the last stage of shift register) is easy to generate output abnormality, which affects the display quality.

Specifically, except for the last stage of shift register, the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT of each shift register is also connected to the INPUT terminal INPUT of the next stage of shift register, and certainly, the INPUT terminal INPUT of the first stage of shift register needs to be connected with a separate driving signal; meanwhile, besides the first-stage shift register, the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT of each shift register is also connected to the RESET terminal RESET of the first-stage shift register, and of course, the RESET terminal RESET of the last-stage shift register is connected to a separate driving signal.
Meanwhile, for any two adjacent shift registers, their clock terminals are connected to opposite clock signal lines, that is, if the first clock terminal CLK of one shift register stage is connected to the first clock signal line and the second clock terminal CLKB is connected to the second clock signal line, the shift register of the other shift register stage must have the first clock terminal CLK connected to the second clock signal line and the second clock terminal CLKB connected to the first clock signal line.
The present embodiment further provides a driving method of the shift register, including:
an idle stage: a turn-off signal is provided to the constant level terminal VGL, and a turn-on signal is provided to the third signal terminal GCL to introduce the turn-off signal of the constant level terminal VGL to the pull-up node PU and the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT.
In the shift register of this embodiment, in the Blank Time period (Blank Time), the third signal terminal GCL provides a turn-on signal, so that the turn-off signal of the constant level terminal VGL is introduced into the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT and the pull-up node PU, so that the shift register can continuously and stably OUTPUT a low level, and prevent the pull-up node PU from increasing in level due to leakage, eliminate charge accumulation of the storage capacitor C, thereby avoiding OUTPUT abnormality (especially for the last stage of shift register) at the start of a next frame picture, and ensuring display quality.
The following description will specifically describe the operation process of the shift register, in which all transistors are N-type transistors, and since the shift register can implement bidirectional scanning, the following description will respectively describe the processes of forward scanning and reverse scanning.
(a) As shown in fig. 3, during the forward direction scan (i.e., scan from the low-level shift register to the high-level shift register), a high level is continuously input to the first signal terminal FW, a low level is continuously input to the second signal terminal BW, and a low level is continuously input to the constant level terminal VGL, and the driving process of the shift register specifically includes:
s11, charging stage: a high level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, a low level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a high level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the INPUT terminal INPUT is at a high level (a conducting signal OUTPUT from the shift register of the previous stage), the first transistor M1 is turned on, the high level of the first signal terminal FW is introduced into the pull-up node PU, and the third transistor M3 is turned on, the low level of the first clock terminal CLK is introduced into the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT, so that the shift register OUTPUTs a low level, and the storage capacitor C is charged.
Meanwhile, since the pull-up node PU is at a high level, the eleventh transistor M11 and the twelfth transistor M12 are turned on, so that the thirteenth transistor M13 and the tenth transistor M10 are turned off (although the second clock terminal CLKB is at a high level), and the pull-down node PD is at a low level.
S12, output stage: a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, a high level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a low level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the INPUT terminal INPUT is changed to a low level, so the first transistor M1 is turned off, the pull-up node PU cannot discharge and keeps a high level, the third transistor M3 keeps on, and the high level of the first clock terminal CLK is introduced to the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT, so that the shift register OUTPUTs a high level on signal.
At the same time, the level of the pull-up node PU rises further (but still high) due to the bootstrap effect of the storage capacitor C.
S13, resetting: a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, a low level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a high level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a high level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the RESET terminal RESET becomes a high level (a conduction signal output from the next stage of shift register), so that the second transistor M2 is turned on, a low level of the second signal terminal BW is introduced into the pull-up node PU, and the pull-up node PU becomes a low level; since the second clock terminal CLKB is also at the high level, the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the low level of the constant level terminal VGL is introduced into the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT, the shift register OUTPUTs the low level, and the storage capacitor C is discharged.
Meanwhile, since the pull-up node PU becomes low level, the eleventh transistor M11 and the twelfth transistor M12 are turned off, so the high level of the second clock terminal CLKB can turn on the tenth transistor M10 and the thirteenth transistor M13, the high level of the second clock terminal CLKB enters the pull-down node PD through the thirteenth transistor M13, the pull-down node PD is high level, and the low level of the constant level terminal VGL is respectively introduced into the pull-up node PU and the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT through the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6, thereby further ensuring the storage capacitor C to be completely discharged.
S14, keeping stage: a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, a high level is alternately INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK and the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the shift register of the current stage has completed scanning or is waiting for scanning, and the shift registers of other stages are scanning, so that the clock signal is still asserted, and the first clock terminal CLK and the second clock terminal CLKB are alternately high. When the second clock terminal CLKB is at a high level, the pull-down node PD is at a high level, and a low level of the constant level terminal VGL is introduced into the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT and the pull-up node PU; since the time interval of the high level of the second clock terminal CLKB is short, the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT approximately keeps outputting the low level.
S15, Blank phase (Blank Time): a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, a low level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a low level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, and a high level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the scanning of all the shift registers is completed, or the input of the current frame of picture is completed, so that each shift register does not work any more, so that the display panel keeps displaying the current frame of picture, and the shift registers at each stage start scanning again until the next frame of picture starts.
Specifically, in this stage, the third signal terminal GCL is kept at the high level, so that the ninth transistor M9 and the seventh transistor M7 are both turned on, and the low level of the constant voltage terminal VGL is continuously introduced into the pull-up node PU and the INPUT terminal INPUT. Therefore, the shift register can continuously and stably output low level, prevent the level of the pull-up node PU from rising due to electric leakage, eliminate the charge accumulation of the storage capacitor C, avoid output abnormity (particularly for the last stage of shift register) when the next frame picture starts, and ensure the display quality.
(b) As shown in fig. 4, during the reverse scan (i.e., scanning from the high-level shift register to the low-level shift register), a low level is continuously input to the first signal terminal FW, a high level is continuously input to the second signal terminal BW, and a low level is continuously input to the constant level terminal VGL, and the driving process of the shift register specifically includes:
s21, charging stage: a high level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, a low level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a high level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the RESET terminal RESET is at a high level (a conducting signal OUTPUT from the next stage shift register, and is a reverse scan, so that the next stage shift register OUTPUTs a conducting signal first), the second transistor M2 is turned on, the high level of the second signal terminal BW is introduced into the pull-up node PU, and the third transistor M3 is turned on, the low level of the first clock terminal CLK is introduced into the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT, so that the shift register OUTPUTs a low level, and the storage capacitor C is charged.
S22, output stage: a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, a high level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a low level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the RESET terminal RESET becomes a low level, so the second transistor M2 is turned off, the pull-up node PU cannot discharge and keeps a high level, the third transistor M3 keeps on, and the high level of the first clock terminal CLK is introduced to the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT, so that the shift register OUTPUTs a high level on signal.
S23, resetting: a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, a low level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a high level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a high level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the INPUT terminal INPUT becomes a high level (a turn-on signal from the shift register of the previous stage), so that the first transistor M1 is turned on, a low level of the first signal terminal FW is introduced into the pull-up node PU, and the pull-up node PU becomes a low level; since the second clock terminal CLKB is also at the high level, the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the low level of the constant level terminal VGL is introduced into the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT, the shift register OUTPUTs the low level, and the storage capacitor C is discharged.
S24, keeping stage: a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, a high level is alternately INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK and the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, and a low level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, when the second clock terminal CLKB is at a high level, the pull-down node PD can be at a high level, and a low level of the fixed level terminal VGL is introduced into the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT and the pull-up node PU; since the time interval of the high level of the second clock terminal CLKB is short, the OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT approximately keeps outputting the low level.
S25, Blank phase (Blank Time): a low level is INPUT to the RESET terminal RESET, a low level is INPUT to the first clock terminal CLK, a low level is INPUT to the second clock terminal CLKB, a low level is INPUT to the INPUT terminal INPUT, and a high level is INPUT to the third signal terminal GCL.
In this stage, the third signal terminal GCL is kept at a high level, so that the ninth transistor M9 and the seventh transistor M7 are both turned on, and a low level of the constant level terminal VGL is continuously introduced into the pull-up node PU and the INPUT terminal INPUT. Therefore, the shift register can continuously and stably output low level, prevent the level of the pull-up node PU from rising due to electric leakage, eliminate the charge accumulation of the storage capacitor C, avoid output abnormity (particularly for the last stage of shift register) when the next frame picture starts, and ensure the display quality.
